That was the worst night's sleep I can remember. Over four hours lost out of ten in bed, probably a result of yesterday's 'flu jab. Clare corrected the draft of our annual newsletter and I edited the text ready for the annual mail-out while she went to her study group.
I prepared lunch, but forgot to switch on the stove to cook fish and veg while my attention turned to editing Morning Prayer audio for Christmas Eve. I dozed for an hour after lunch and could have slept for longer, but Marc came around to see us and then we went out for an after dark walk to the Taff. The water level at Blackweir Bridge is at footpath level, and more rain is expected.
After supper we both tried getting to grips with configuring Freeview and other TV channel apps on our new telly but with little success. There are lots of choices and channel registrations to make it's confusing. I can't recall how the few apps we habitually use got registered in the first place. Doing this to view telly on a laptop is easier, or else it's a matter of being more used to it. We'll just have to wait until Owain or Kath comes to stay.
I spent the rest of the evening making the video slideshow to accompany the Morning Prayer audio edited earlier in the day. Some things I have mastered and remember how to repeat, but it can be a struggle to remember how to use an app I seldom need. Linux works consistently well it rarely needs troubleshooting and I have to relearn how to do this. I'm currently in trouble as a system update stopped it from printing. My only recourse is to reinstall an older version and not accept updates, or try an alternative version of Linux, recommended for ease of use. I haven't made up my mind about this yet. What I really need is a low maintenance easy to use system that doesn't have me racking my brain trying to remember forgotten routines and commands to keep my work station running. I need to lose as little sleep as possible.
